RIP Justin Ramos aka 'justnum'......................

To all. I know that is Justins Sister. She posted this out of spite, nothing was accomplished from it. Justin was My Friend.
Ignore me. ban me, I don't care, that was ignorant. Brian.
 
As a former and probably current troll on here, it saddens me to learn of justnum's passing. I will admit I have argued with him in the past, but nothing malicious.

I will also admit I have nowhere near the level of education, intelligence or creativity he did.

He was unique, and often times I found him entertaining.

Rest In Peace.
 
Forgot I wrote that.

I feel like whatever Justnum was experiencing is partially due to the nature of the connected world we live in these days. You see it constantly on social media, especially tiktok/instagram reels. People just seeking that quick attention and validation and in some cases that old adage of "bad press is good press".

There is a guy on Instagram right now that is the perfect example of this. Goes by Kenleeefastman (https://www.instagram.com/kenleefastestman/). His schtick is that he is/thinks he is super fast. Every video is him knocking over lighters or clothes pins... or grabbing something off a table really fast. Some videos shows him shadowboxing throwing kicks and punches. While fast, you can see by his technique, well, that there is no technique. Just doing something fast and thinking he is great for it. Seeking validation from people who don't know any better and either ignoring or "liking" the negative comments or criticisms.

That's just one example outside of AZ.
thank you for sharing this. it’s very insightful.

i knew he was arrogant and smarter than me and yes he’d say weird shit but he was a nerd, i’m not, either I couldn’t be bothered or didn’t know what he was talking about and just move on. there were times I wouldn’t talk to him because instead of saying “the” he’d use some super nerd shit i couldn’t understand. our parents are fucked up - they lied to me about flying to NY because “he only turns 40 once” (NYD mind you), when i told them it’s crazy to ask me to come home on 12/29 - pfft! then they told me he passed in his sleep, i took the red eye and landed 5 hours before his viewing before the burial. upon arrival in NY, the priest mentioned his state of mind and i was floored. i started asking questions and got a raised voice for wanting to know the truth … they still try to tell me the medical examiner got his COD wrong even though they found him in a room 30 ft away.

but as my kid brother and the most beloved in the family, i loved him always - even when he was little and i used to tell him fedex dropped or we found him in the trash. if he had a problem, he knew i’d always have his back. he loved to learn, was thoughtful, accommodating, attentive, caring and loving - especially to our niece & nephew, and his students.

bless your hearts for putting up with Justin and including him in your community. i imagine this was the only forum he could really get shit off his chest and have some relief. thank you.
